Chapter 538: Why Not This Year?
Old He had been admitted to the ICU these past two days, and his wife couldn't take care of him, so she simply took He's bread van to head home and pack some things, planning to take care of him after he was transferred to the Hepatobiliary Surgery Department.
All the way home, Chen Dahai's heart was on a roller coaster!
He knew his son was capable, but he never imagined he would be this formidable!
After just one trip home and a visit to the hospital, he had become a visiting expert professor at the JinYang City People's Hospital—it really brought glory to the ancestors!
Recalling how much Director Liu valued Cang Er, Chen felt exhilarated and content.
He decided that after he returned today, he would go to the ancestral graves of the Chen Family tomorrow morning to see if any bluish smoke was rising...
Nothing made a father prouder than seeing his son achieve great things.
Thinking of how the high-and-mighty directors and deans respected him, Chen Dahai felt truly relieved and content.
Having boasted in the village his whole life, Chen Dahai now felt that if one was truly impressive, who would need to boast?
Just like today, even without saying a word, others placed him on a pedestal. Where was the need to show off?
Thinking of this, Old Chen was truly filled with a myriad of emotions!
...
The most grateful of all were Old He's wife and family. On the way, they couldn't stop praising Chen Cang and Qin Yue, endlessly expressing their gratitude.
If it hadn't been for Chen Cang this time, not to mention the cost, Old He's life might not have been saved!
These few hours had been the most agonizing of her life.
Moreover, thinking of how Xiao Qin had waived the medical fees with a single word, that was tens of thousands of yuan...
For an ordinary family, this kindness... was truly as heavy as a mountain!
Thinking it over, she decided to help out in the kitchen during the Chen Family's banquets in the future, for what else could a woman do?
When the children come back, she would have to make sure they remember this kindness from the Chen Family!
Chen Cang and Qin Yue had to return to Anyang today, and the train tickets were already booked, so they politely declined the hospital directors' invitation to dine.
When Yang Jiahui at home learned that everyone was coming back, she quickly started preparing food and carefully packed up the more than ten pounds of free-range chicken eggs they had in storage. She also filled up twenty to thirty pounds of millet from their own field to take with them for Yueyue.
The family didn't have anything valuable, but Qin Yue liked the home-grown eggs and had said that the millet porridge tasted really good.
Yang Jiahui packed everything full, including lots of walnuts, hoping Qin Yue would take them. However, they simply couldn't carry so much.
During the meal, Old Chen said to Chen Cang, "Cang Er, you'll be running back and forth in the future, buy a car. It's inconvenient to take the bus, and you know how to drive, too. Take Yueyue home more often for visits."
Indeed, Chen Cang had become an experienced driver, having obtained his driver's license after his high school exams and driven Chen Dahai's van to JinYang for supplies during vacations.
After hearing this, Chen Cang nodded.
When Yang Jiahui heard Chen Dahai praising Chen Cang, she too was overjoyed, and her face beamed even more when she learned that Chen Cang had become a visiting expert at the JinYang City People's Hospital.
However, what made her happy was that her son would now be able to come home often.
As a mother, sometimes you don't expect your children to make grand contributions. It's enough if they're safe and well, and even better if they can often come home.
She then said with a smile, "Buy a car, get one quickly. I'll chip in some money, so you can buy a good one! Yueyue should spend more time with Chen Cang, coming back home to visit."
Qin Yue nodded, as she had grown very fond of this simple and honest uncle and auntie.
After dinner, Yang Jiahui hesitated for a moment, then took Qin Yue to the bedroom next door.
"Yueyue, please have a seat."
Yang Jiahui then went inside and took a small box down from the top of the cabinet, from which she retrieved a jade bracelet.
It was jadeite, but as for the quality, Yang Jiahui wasn't sure; it was a gift from Chen Dahai's mother to her and could be considered a family heirloom of the Chen Family.
Yang Jiahui had labored hard her whole life. The delicate jade bracelet was hardly worn, for fear of damaging it.
Curious, Qin Yue waited. Before long, Yang Jiahui came back out.
Holding the bracelet, she said to Qin Yue, "Yueyue, this was given to me by Chen Cang's grandmother back then. We don't have many valuable things at home, so you wear this."
Qin Yue was stunned, suddenly speechless, a little scared, yet somewhat pleasantly surprised!
After all, she was very clear about what this meant.
This was to say, she had received Chen Cang's parents' approval, but... such a valuable thing, she dared not accept!
But... deep down she also wanted to accept it because... if she did, it would mean she was the approved daughter-in-law.
"Aunty... this is too valuable..."
Yang Jiahui smiled, "What's too valuable or not, I can tell you're a good girl. In the future, if Chen Cang makes you feel wronged, call me, and I'll scold him for you!"
Qin Yue felt so touched that tears blurred her eyes for a moment.
...
...
When leaving the house, Chen Cang was carrying big and small bags full of stuff, and Chen Dahai drove them to the station. Watching the car go far, he then left with a smile on his lips.
His son had grown up and made something of himself!
On the bus, there weren't many people, and the seats were sparsely occupied.
Qin Yue leaned against Chen Cang, holding his hand, and suddenly said, "Chen Cang, let's get married sooner."
Chen Cang was taken aback, immediately turning to look at Qin Yue, "What's wrong?"
Qin Yue muttered softly, "I'm afraid you're too outstanding... one day you might not want me anymore..."
Chen Cang burst into laughter at once, grasping Qin Yue's hand more tightly, and with his other hand, he pinched her nose and said with a smile, "That won't happen, you're my Qin Xiaotian, how can I manage without you!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Yue became flustered and annoyed, "Give me your phone! Haven't you changed it yet?"
Chen Cang smiled awkwardly, "It's quite fitting, isn't it? It would be bad to change it."
Qin Yue turned to glare at Chen Cang and said, "If you ever don't want me, or if you find a mistress or something, I'll go to your parents, and they'll stand up for me!"
As she spoke, Qin Yue revealed her bracelet, "See this? It's as authoritative as a royal command! Aunty said, when you see this jade bracelet, it's as if you're seeing her in person!"
"So, be good!" Qin Yue said, patting Chen Cang's hair with her hand.
Chen Cang was immediately dumbfounded, "My mom gave this to you?"

Qin Yue raised her eyebrows, saying with a cheeky grin, "Yeah, Uncle and Aunty really like me!"
Chen Cang rolled his eyes, "Sigh... my grandmother gave it to my mom, and she's never been willing to wear it her whole life."
Hearing this, Qin Yue's mind raced, thinking about buying a bracelet for Aunty—a gold bracelet!
Yes!
A gold bracelet is durable!
Aunty would definitely like it.
Qin Yue looked out of the window.
After a long while.
Qin Yue looked at Chen Cang, "I will be good to your dad and mom!"
Chen Cang smiled, looking at Qin Yue, "Hmm."
After a while, Chen Cang said, "Let's get married next year, okay?"
Qin Yue was puzzled, "Why not this year?"
Chen Cang was dumbfounded, "..."
